The Lexicography MasterClass draws on the professional skills of two of the UK's most experienced dictionary-makers, and one of the leading research scientists in the field of lexical computing. Atkins and Rundell have, between them, over 60 years' experience at the sharp end of dictionary publishing, and have planned, edited and project-managed numerous well-known dictionaries, and trained over a hundred lexicographers. Kilgarriff uniquely combines a strong research background with extensive experience of working with commercial dictionary publishers
Each of LexMC’s directors is a world leader in his or her special area:
- Sue Atkins is widely regarded as the leading authority on bilingual dictionaries, and has done more than anyone to establish links between theoretical linguists and practising lexicographers
- Adam Kilgarriff is a computational linguist with an international reputation for his work at the interface between lexicography and natural language processing
- Michael Rundell’s track record in developing monolingual learners’ dictionaries is unequalled in the field.
